2.The Help

3.The 19th Wife

4.Water For Elephants

5.Replay

6.The Glass Castle

7.Beneath The Marble Sky

8.The Kite Runner

Janine, thank you for completing our top 1o list with the following two books:

9. One Thousand White Women

10. Not By The Sword

Thank you Jean for adding the following two books to the list!

11. Homer and Langley

12.The Dress Lodger

Now we have 12 books! Are there any books you want to add before we put it to a vote?

I thought Homer and Langley sparked a really interesting discussion. Also, The Dress Lodger was a fascinating window into an unusual world. In looking at the books on our Book List, I realized that the vast majority of them were pretty terrific!
